' BRAN I'OUND YOU"
ROSAMUND atood Juit Inside Aob
rt Leonard's door, waiting. Sho
was drenched, her clothing torn.
Bhe had been half an hour covering
the tew hundred yards between the
Tetterley bouse and where she
stood.
"Bad night for travel," she said,
looking at a halt packed suitcase on
a chair.
"Best for both ot n. TouH finish
w coming here like this. I'm off
before you lit a rope around my
neck."
"That's not the chief reason.
Where's Jervls?"
"You'll have to dlvs to find him!"
' Rosamund stood quite still tor a
moment, then ran for the door. She
was flung aside.
"How dare you I"
"You're not going down; the wa
ter1 well up to the root by now!"
Rosamund calmly walked to the
telephone and lifted the receiver.
"Dive me Oroyatoa police eta-
Two figures roee slowly
, Uon." She covered the mouthpiece.'
"Am I going down J" Bhe looked
Into the mouth ot Leonard's auto
matic; her eyes were steady.
"I'm worth something alive," she
said coolly.
"Don't bluff me!"
A thrumming came from the In
strument. "That was bluff," she admitted.
"But the operator's here now. She
can hear shooting, too."
Robert Leonard flung bis pistol
down on the table.
"Hang sp' that damned re
ceiver!" he said.
Rosamund hung It up.
"Now look here I'll ten you the
whole bed-rock truth. I wasn't to
know you were liable to get a crasy
tide when there was a storm was
IT I did my best. I went down Into
that damn passage and found the
whole place under water. I went
In up to my neck I oouldn't do
more than that. I suppose you
' didn't expect me to drown myself?"
"No,'' said Rosamund Just the
one word, hard and cold. Then she
put out her hand. "Give me the
key I'm going down."
"Not much I"
She struck him a stinging blow
In the face, and at the same mo
ment there came the sound of loud
' and heavy knocking upon the back
door.
"Who Is Itr said Rosamund sud
denly. The light bad gone out of
tier.
"I don't know. They mustn't see
fm."
Leonard opened the door and
stepped out Into the passage; and
as he did so, the wind blew In
through the kitchen, and along
with It came Bran, and, separated
from him by a short length of
chain, Ferdinand Francis, They
seemed to be In a hurry.
Robert Leonard shut the door
sharply bohlnd him. He thought
regretfully of the antomatlo on the
09104 table.
Bran pulled on bis chain, growl
ing, and Ferdinand said.

"YVo're calling for Mis. Weate."
"I don't understand. It's Mr.
Francis Isn't HI"
"Where is shet" said Ferdinand
sharply.
"I haven't the slightest Idea what
you're talking about."
"You'd better have! I got back
from a wild goose chase an hour
ago, and 1 found a note from Nan
to say she was coming here to
find Jervir."
"I really don't know what you're
talking about, Mr. Francis."
Ferdinand lengthened the chars,
and as Leonard jumped back, the
great dog ran snuffling up the pas
sage. He pushed whining against
the door Nan had stood behind.
Ferdinand with a quick movement
flung open the other door, and was
taken completely aback. Rosamund
Carew was leaning on the study
table In an attitude ot careless
Indifference. Ferdinand dropped
Bran's chain In his surprise.
"Isn't this a very early vtaltt"
said Rosamund. "Hullo, Bran I"
The dog wrinkled his brows,
snuffed the air, and backed away
from her outstretched hand.
"Where's Nan?" said Ferdinand.
"Well not here."
"She said she was coming here,"
Ferdinand began; and then he saw
Leonard's pistol lying where ha
had thrown It. He pocketed It, then
out of the blackness.
turned to see Bran with his nose to
the ground.
"Seek her, boy seek her!" he
said, and followed back to the
kitchen, and across the kitchen to
a door behind the dresser where
Bran scratched and whined.
As they went down the steps
Into the cellar, Robert Leonard let
himself out ot the front door. He
had to crawl thirty yards to reach
tbe abetter of the garage.
Bran was snuffling and scraping
at the trap. Ferdinand began to roll
the barrel away, and us he did so,
there came a knocking on the un
der side of the trap.
Rosamund stood where she was,
and saw the barrel and the shadow
ot the barrel move together. She
saw Ferdinand take hold of the
Iron ring that had been under the
barrel and heave. She saw the trap
rise, and Bran's groat head thrust
forward. He whined frantically.
And then she saw Jervla coming up
out of the trap, and her heart stood
still and her bones turned to wa
ter. A drowned man might look
like that. He came up higher, and
Bhe saw Nan's face against his
shoulder deathly white. Her eyes
were closed, and her lips a little
parted.
Jervls took a step forwaid and
then stopped, and there was a sud
den doad silence.
Then Nan opened her eyes. Bar
gaze passed Rosamund and rested
on Ferdinand.
"Did you find r
"Bran found you."
"Where's Leonard?" said Jervls
harshly.
He and Ferdinand ran through
the empty house, out Into the raw,
stormy tlnwn. Thoy snw Leonard's
car laboring toward the cliff rood.
They snw It lurch, swing across the
road, the Irresistible gale behind It.
A huge gust caught It like a chip.
It dropped over the edge Into the
sea.
"Let's go back to Nan, F. F.,"
said Jervls.
